The result means PSG have an unassailable 12-point lead over second-placed Monaco, who have three games left.
The Ligue 1 triumph is PSG's third in a row and a record-extending 12th overall.
Mbappe has been involved in six of them, but comes off contract at the end of the season and is expected to be signed by Real Madrid.
PSG are still on course for a historic treble as they'll play at Borussia Dortmund in the first leg of the Champions League semif-inals on Wednesday and face Lyon in the French Cup final on May 25.
In coach Luis Enrique's first season at the club, PSG have produced one of the most dominant seasons in league history with just one loss in 30 games so far.
Their triumph came on Sunday, the day after they could only draw 3-3 with Le Havre.
The club have also reached the symbolic milestone of 50 trophies in their history, 32 of which have been won since the Qatar Sports Investments took over in 2011.
"Winning the league is fantastic, but to win Ligue 1 for the 12th time makes it even more special for everyone connected to Paris Saint-Germain," PSG president Nasser Al-Khelaifi said.
"I will also never forget the fans, who have been amazing whatever the result. We will treasure this moment together as a family," he added.
Last season, PSG supporters were booing Lionel Messi even though the soccer great was the player who helped the club clinch an 11th league title by scoring in a 1-1 draw with Strasbourg.
Two years ago, there was a similar disconnect between the supporters and the club. PSG supporters kept protesting at Parc des Princes by giving their team the silent treatment.
Now this season could be the most exciting of all.
